okay, so apparently my launcher pro beta has expired on my speedy eclair ROM. How the heck do I upgrade or update or install a newer version? I've tried downloading the new version from the Market, but it fails to install.. I've downloaded it from the website and tried to use an .apk installer to install and it again fails.
How do I get it to work? it's annoying as heck.
Use Blaokmarket.com or droidappz.org. I suggest signing up for both, but using DroidAppz.org for now while they confirm your addition to BlapkMarket (takes about 1-3 days for them to confirm you.) And when you're in BlapkMarket, you can then download apps and update them (just like the Market.)
Or use ADW.Launcher... much better!
please i need help.. launcher pro has expired and i have no internet availiable. the browser keeps popping up and i can't do anything. my debugging is off so i can't uinstall it from sdk. i don't want to make a factory reset cause of that stupid programm. the only thing i need is a way to open the settings and make android home default instead of launcherpro but how can i do this when the only thing i see is the browser and the task manager?
Ok why was a trial version used? Is there a way round this issue or do we have to uninstall and start from scratch??? Maybe I should have expected it
Hi,
have a look into launcher Pro forum.
But no solution for now except :
- Try to crash LauncherPro
- Get an internet connexion and upgrade LP using the displayed web page
- use a task killer if one exist and is running
- try to get into android settings ...
I had a data connection and manage to get rid of this probleme.
I really don't understand why an "official" release can expire and most of all I don't understand how they dare to block the launcher !! That's the main peice of the phone.
They block all the phones with their stupidity.
uninstalling
So I knew Launcher Pro was about to expire but this morning when I went to use my phone and the default launcher was disabled and all I was "allowed" to do was go to the Launcher Pro website and update I decided this launcher if not for me. Don't block me! Uninstalling now.
Using web page (as forced), do the download, but when you try to open the apk in the browser you get this popup:
Parse error: There is a problem parsing the package.
Another workaround post by Christmoo on LP forum :
He used the opened browser and :
"Went to the Droid-life.com website and then the Apps link and chose an application that linked to the Market to install. This brought up the Android Market and I could then search for Launcher Pro and update - problem solved."

Can you please tell me specifically what apps link go directly to the Android market. I am getting stuck finding one and actually launching the market place. Stuck in a viscous circle. Cant launch anything...but the launcher pro website
Hello there,
This happened to me a few hours ago. I've been frantically searching all over the net for acess to the Android Market. Just google search ADW.Launcher and go to the website JBthemes. I am unable to post links since I'm a "newbie".
It downloades the ADW.Launcher......but I personally think its better than the Launcher Pro.....
You will see a barcode......Press on it ( This is all done ON the phone ) and it will direct you to the Android Market......and the Installation page for the ADW.Launcher!
Good Luck

Thanks for responding Dan, unfortunatly that didnt work for me. I could navigate to the ADW page but it wouldnt let me install the app. It said I already have to many screens open???? Weird. I tried researching and installing for a few hours....
I finally gave up and rebuilt with another build. (Darkstone, Desire with Froyo Sence..just released Sept 29th, 2010) I was having a lot of problems with Cyanomod anyway. Lots of Screen of Death's....even after I tried a few different ROM's and Radio's. So far I like the Darkstone build a lot better, seems more stable. Some of the Sence features are actually very nice, compared to straight Froyo.
Anyway, I hope you solution works for others. It was simply too vexing for me.
launcher pro hijack your phone? go to this site to start android market: bubiloop.com/download/org.adw.launcher

go to manage applications and clear data or uninstall launcher pro
then when hiting home button you will be prompted to choose home or launcher pro
choose default home and everything is ok.
I have the same problem as above.
I am very angry about launcherpro update management. I can't get my phone up and running because i don't have any connection on my Hero.
Launcherpro is s**t. I'm getting rid of it.
Anyone know commands to DISABLE it as home in SDK through debugg?
Pressed "home" - no settings

Pressing "home" doesn't do it for me. All I get is "recent" apps, and task manager is not one of them. Settings seems unaccessible. Ideas, anyone?
I'm running FroydVillain 1.4
I did a long press on the phone button which brought up voice dialer, said "open settings" I used the link provided to install adw launcher, pressed home then selected adw launcher to use to return home.
Here is the solution which worked on HTC Hero / VillainROM 1.4.0
I also had this problem: Expired LauncherPro, Disabled Wi-fi & mobile network, disabled ADB and was unable to access settings.
I downloaded latest update from LauncherPro website and using this guide - / Google It - this message board does not allow me to post links / - (Creating an Android Update.zip Package – RobMcGhee.com) made update.zip file. Then I rebooted into recovery and aplied my file. After reboot Launcher Pro seemed slow at first, but IT WORKED!
I have attached my update file, but use at your own risk.

Had the same problem. The above worked for me. When I first used Opera Mini it did not work, but when I used Browser it worked. Thanks!
I just got my galaxy s (captivate the other day), so I'm still new to the interface.
Anyway, some web page was crashing the browser every time, so I decided to try another browser. I found firefox in the app store and sure enough, ff could load the page that kept crashing the default android browser. So, i'd love to set firefox to be the default browser.
Can anyone help me figure out how?

Are you on stock or using a replacement launcher?
And if you click links from apps and stuff it should ask you which you want to use, just tap the check mark and select firefox.
Many thanks for the prompt reply. I'm on rooted stock (that sounds very botanical). You think maybe I need an aftermarket loader? I've seen some mention of app loaders, but don't really know what one is.
I did notice that links to web urls give me the chance to choose a browser. But, I'm also interested in changing the link on the bottom of my homescreen. Will a new launcher help with that?
Thanks for any advice.
LaucherPro is a great launcher... Fast and highly customizable. It will allow to change the icon and shortcut in your dock to FF. You can find it in the market.

I haven't been on the stock launcher for a long time, but I know you can change that icon by pressing 'menu' and selecting edit on the app drawer.
But a new launcher is always recommended, I use launcher pro as well

it doesn't matter what launcher you are using.

you can change the shortcut in the default touchwiz dock as well.......................... open app tray, hit the menu softkey, edit, customizable grid... drag the icons you don't want on the tray off. drag the icons that you want on the tray on. menu key, alphabetical grid (to fix the icons you dragged out), save.
Hi,
using Market Fixer I inadvertently deleted my stock gallery app which also meant I couldn't use the widget for having pics of my baby daughter on my screens.
Does anyone know how I can get another copy of is there a better app that has similar functionality?
Cheers for any help.
Quickpic is much better! Set it to 32 bit colour.
Sent from my superior GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
I already use QuickPic but need to be able have gallery for the widget function and also to be able to change the lockscreen pic (unless I'm being dumb).
I noticed that too, that without the gallery, the option disappear also. Anyway, luckily I've just frozen it instead of deleted.
On the other hand, I think you can go to settings > Display >Screen display and change it from there. It has an option to change the wallpaper and lock screen from there.
Without the gallery installed going via settings only gives access to the wallpaper folders.
Does anyone know where I can get the gallery apk without having to factory reset?
Here you go
- Download it to your phone
- Use ES File Explorer or another file manager with root access**
- Move the APK to /system/app
- Reboot
**Press Settings -> Root Explorer [Enable it] and also enable "Mount File System". Tap and hold the star on the top left (favorites) and navigate to /system/app
i've also accidently deleted the gallery app..(dont know what i'm doing lol)..
but thanks for your guide,i manage to get it back..
lots of thanks!
You sir are a gentleman! That's exactly what I wanted. Thanks very much.

Could you please upload that apk! I cant seem to find it. Even i deleted gallery apk accidently. Thanks.
Hey guys,
I run on B609 and I am a participant of the official beta-program for EMUI 3.0. After getting B609 I tried to set a different launcher for as default. I cleared the default setting for Huawei Home but everytime I press the homebutton it just uses Huaweis one.
Yes I have different launchers installed (Nova, GNL) but still no change. I even tried some home-switcher-apps, but they dont work as well.
Any hints or experiences on this? More information needed? I 'll be happy to help.

Settings>manage apps>default app settings>launcher.

Like tokkivals said, with EMUI 3 all default apps are picked through a whole different way now.
Dang, thank you. I didn't know that But sadly, at least GNL does not show up there. Trying with Nova now.
Edit: Nova shows up and is changeable - yay. GNL does not. :/ Anyway, topic solved - thanks a lot!
Hi
Anyone facing this problem? When I use nova launcher for open dual apps, it show permission denied. But if I use stock launcher, there is no issue on this.
Please help. Thx

Yep, it is the same on mine.
Report it to nova…
I don't know if it's the same issue I found in Pixel Launcher, but in order to launch any dual app you must select the original app and it will give you the option to open the cloned one. This works for me.

Yes, the same problem here on the Xiaomi Mi9. I have made a Dual App from What's app.
I get two icons in the app drawer, but I can only place one on the home screen. On the secondary icon, I get a permission denied error.
As far as I know, there is not really a workaround.
I have the same issue with dul app on Whatsapp. August now ... Still having that issue.
Same problem on my Mi9
Open app drawer on nova, find and run the original app (not the cloned one) , nova will ask you to choose between original app and cloned app. select cloned app and it will run without problem.
